A Calming Massage

A study in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management showed that having a massage can lower your tension by up to fifty one percent. Of course if you've ever had a massage you don't need a study to tell you that. What you probably don't know is the reason why it works. A massage soothes muscular strain by boosting blood flow to the muscles. This helps trigger a parasympathetic response in your nervous system. Which means it makes you calmer. It sounds to me like another good reason to pamper yourself. If you don't have time or funds for the full treatment, then squeeze in a thirty minute massage when you can. If there is a massage therapy school near you, that is another great option for getting a less expensive treatment.
